{welcome}

I am Angela Pursell and this is my blog. I am a studio photographer located in Doylestown Pennsylvania. This blog is my online journal where I will share with you my journey in life as a photographer and a person. Here you will be able to view my most recent sessions as well as take a little peek into my life.

I have been photographing children and their families for over 10 years and feel so fortunate to be able to watch little ones grow up through the lens of my camera. My style can be described as simple and classic with a journalistic feel. My goal is to produce the best images I can, resulting in fine art portraiture that conveys both authentic emotion and relationship. Simply put…I feel images, not just take them. There is something magical about capturing the spirit and personality of a person. That is what I strive to do.

In addition to children and family photography, I photograph expectant mothers and their newborns, high school seniors and select weddings and events per year. There is also the commercial side of my work that includes headshots and modeling portfolios.

Feel free to leave a comment or subscribe! I would love to hear from you.

Couple of things...

~ I am starting to book portrait sessions into August. Please contact me soon for availible session dates this spring and summer.

~ My wedding schedule is booked through November. I am currently taking appointments for any weddings planned after that time.

I photographed 2 wonderful weddings this week.   :)

Kristen and Russ. Getting to know them over these past months has really blessed my life. I can’t say enough about these two individuals. I just meet the most fantastic people through my work.

Here are some stand out images from the day. I know that I am going to be posting more…the reception needs a big entry for itself. Seriously.

Friday was a busy one! These are images from my evening session in Doylestown.

This little man was extremely adorable with the biggest brown eyes. He did so well in the heat and humidity. He faired better than the adults!

Here is a little peek Heather and Dan. Enjoy!

owen ~ 9 months

Got to spend some time with my little buddy Owen early this morning (Friday) in the city. I have been photographing him for almost a year now. He is one of my baby plan babies! 

He just gets cuter each time I see him and is so funny. It has been a joy to photograph him throughout this past year and spend time with his wonderful parents.

Stefan and Ginny….here are a few of my favorites so far. (had trouble choosing!)

Oh…I love this first one. “Hi Owen, thank you for bringing your smile with you today!”

Hello blog readers! It has been a little while since I have posted. A lot has been going on here…

First I have to share this image taken this past evening from the Doylestown Laundromat. My washer had seen its last day so here I was. The lighting was so beautiful…glad I had my camera ~my friend~ in the car. This really takes me back to my childhood.  :)

Ok…the next image (not taken by me) shows you one of the other issues this week. While I was in Chicago this past week I was not feeling very well, sure enough, Lyme Disease. Fun huh? I think I am on the upswing.

I did want to post a few from a couple of sessions these past 2 weeks. Are these little ones adorable or what?

 Be sure to check back for more entries as I catch up on the blog-o-rama. Also…I will be in NYC next week.
Stay tuned as well for 4 weddings in 2 weeks as well as photos of a bunch of little cuties.

Thanks for stopping by as always.   A.

Amanda.

 

I can’t sleep so i thought I would post about my Amanda. Today she is 19. Maybe that is why I can’t sleep. My daughter is 19!

I almost did not survive her birth. There was an accident after she was born and I needed emergency surgery. I fell sleep on the operating table not sure if I was going to wake up.  I remember this so vividly. Knowing that she was ok was all I needed at that moment.

Here we are 19 years later. A lot of changes in our lives over the years. Now college and future…

Happy Birthday beautiful girl…I am so proud of you. Love you so much….
